       How to gather the most screw IDE

(C) Tim Arbaev


  To successfully build your first
own "screw", it is necessary to know the basics of this device 
devaysa. 

  Thus, the "screw" consists of one (sometimes
two) round of a thin mirror, as
izvetsnogo as a pancake. It can be purchased in
local haberdashery store. Recommend
buy even 2 pancakes - suddenly one of them
break (as well as pomnetsya and pognetsya).
Exactly in the center of the pancake to make a neat hole, 
because pancake sit down Doodle on the spinning, some have 
called the spindle. 

  Once these actions are done,
it is time to think about some force that
will twist, turn pancake. Most often,
As this force acts any
dummy type motor. If no
engine is not visible nearby then fool will be you. One way
make damn cool - to hang on both
his hand pedal.

  But for the full functionality of the "dope" just enough 
pancake. It will not hurt add oil. Pancakes with butter is much 
quieter and faster. 

  Now turn to the most delicate operations - hanging heads for 
reading information. Head mobility (threads, for example) are 
attached to the tower and the tower itself prekreplyaetsya tape 
to the inside Corps. Some stick in a hurry

tower outside the body, and "screw" gets untidy, one might even 
say, repulsive form: Bosko at the tower hectic twitching, 
trying to find a foothold. 

  Now, all neatly stuffed in a prepared body (from the bank 
under Nescafe Gold is fine). It is important to make sure that 
does not touch the walls of the pancake banks, otherwise the 
edges will burn. Display the interface cable out and be sure to 
Evacuate the air from the jar, or Shoot quickly rot and will 
long recall his death putrid smell. 

  Connect the connector, place your feet on the pedals and 
slowly begins to unwind pancake.


  The first 15-20 km of unpleasant noise will be heard - this 
is absolutely normal: get ground details of the "screw" to each 
other, and your feet - to the pedals.


  Enjoy!
